Cegos, a French training company turning 100 in 2026, bought Euroforum, a Dutch training provider founded in 1975. The deal gives Cegos a stronger foothold in the Netherlands, one of Europe’s most digitally advanced markets for lifelong learning.
Euroforum runs over 300 training programs covering finance, energy transition, AI, healthcare, and legal affairs. The company operates out of Eindhoven.
Cegos employs 1,500 people and partners with 3,000 consultants. They train 250,000 people each year and generate โ‚ฌ250 million in revenue across 12 countries. This deal adds capabilities in a market where government policy backs corporate training.
The announcement uses words like synergies, complementarity, and alliance. The framing presents this as a partnership, not a takeover. Both CEOs shared statements about values and human potential.
The timing looks deliberate. Cegos wants to mark its 100th year with modernization. Choosing the Netherlands shows they’re targeting markets where regulation supports lifelong learning investments.
Euroforum’s broad portfolio reveals a trend. Clients prefer working with one comprehensive training provider instead of juggling multiple specialized vendors. Coordination gets expensive when you’re managing three or four different relationships.
The deal creates opportunities for cross-selling and knowledge transfer. Integration follows from here.
